And the plains that silent lie
Underneath; the leaves unsodden
Where the infant frost has trodden
With his morning-winged feet
Whose bright print is gleaming yet;
And the red and golden vines
Piercing with their trellised lines

Pointing from this hoary tower
In the windless air; the flower
Glimmering at my feet; the line

And the Alps, whose snows are spread
High between the clouds and sun;
And of living things each one;
And my spirit, which so long
